id:CA+Tk8fzRiqxWpd=r8=DRvEewNZXUZgD7MKyRLB1A=R-LxxGEZw@mail.gmail.com started a thread of discussion that showed that the cli's current idiosyncrasies around dealing with boolean options were not understandable. This attempts to improve the documentation at least (actual changes to the API might be better, but have not reached consensus). Note that no one in the discussion thread identified any other (non-boolean) command-line options that cannot use space as a separator. If such an option is identified (or introduced in the future), it should be added explicitly to this part of the manual.
